The only handbook of its kind to bring together materials from a
wide range of authoritative works, providing the reader with a
comprehensive overview of reform in American education. Crafted in
ten skillfully written chapters, Educational Reform covers the
history, politics, and processes of educational reform and
addresses reforms in curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
Starting with a definition of educational reform and where its
far-reaching results can lead, the work goes on to assess the role
of the public in educational reform, the educational reform
industry, and resistance to reform. Of interest to school boards
and administrators and useful in graduate and undergraduate courses
in education, it is written in a conversational tone that brings
the subject out of the realm of dry analysis. Readers will benefit
not only from the numerous case studies that intersperse the themes
discussed, but also from the extensive bibliography of print and
nonprint resources (including websites) listed for further study.
There is little doubt that the classroom must change to meet the
needs of the 21st century—read Educational Reform to learn just
how.
Cognition, mind, counseling psychology, lesson plans, learning
styles, and Vygotsky are just a few of the many subjects discussed
in this exciting work. Educators, students, counselors, parents,
and others will find new understanding as they read and browse. How
does the immigrant experience affect student outcomes? What are the
effects of poverty on standardized testing? How can a teacher or
parent develop study skills in the special needs learner? What is
the effect of the school environment on students? What are the
larger issues at work in educating students of diverse race,
culture, and class? This work, a rethinking of the field of school
psychology, will be an essential resource for anyone interested in
teaching and learning. It combines effective, traditional knowledge
with contemporary insights into the nature of today's schools and
students. Currently, there is an information gap between scholars
and practitioners in the field of educational psychology concerning
recent and on going developments. At this time there is no one
source that provides a broad and comprehensive presentation of
these changes. This work bridges the gap by providing a much needed
explication of how educational psychology can meet the needs of
diverse students, families, and schools.
